Motor Cortex in Voluntary Movements: A Distributed System for Distributed Functions

By Eilon Vaadia

Book Overview

This book presents developments in motor cortex research that allow researchers to "read and interpret neural activity" and use the data to reconstruct movements. It focuses on how neuronal activity changes during learning, what the motor cortex encodes for, and the neuronal representations of voluntary movements and the mechanism of their generation during learning. Along with its detailed coverage of recent advanced approaches to motor cortex research, the book also includes early historical notes and brief descriptions of classical studies of neuronal activity in frontal sensorimotor fields.
